The city-building genre can be difficult to scale down to mobile, as the many interconnected parts you need to manage can result in a busy UI or at least a lot of menus and inputs.

Best known for the Kirby, Smash Bros. As the name implies, you play as a cute UFO--both in the alien sense and in the claw machine sense--and you take on odd jobs.

The actual gameplay is very much inspired by crane games, both in its simplicity and the trickiness involved in trying to get a handle of its physics.

Game of Thrones [ Read the review ] Reigns: Legends , like its predecessors, is a decidedly nitro-happy, larger-than-life take on arcade racing.

The car moves on rails, with you swiping between lanes, and timing actions like boosts and drifts. Rally Racing takes Asphalt off-road.

It ditches its collection of sports cars and larger-than-life city circuits for jeeps and trucks — and an awful lot of mud, dirt, rocks, and grime.

As is seemingly law for an Asphalt game, exciting racing is sadly gunked up by all manner of timers and IAP gates.

And although the basics — loads of nitro; floaty physics; crazy tracks — might be familiar, the new environments alone make this one worth a download.

Carmageddon is a blast from the past of PC gaming. People and cows blithely amble about while deranged drivers smash each other to pieces.

Victories come by way of completing laps, wrecking all your opponents, or mowing down every living thing in the vicinity.

In the s, this was shocking to the point of Carmageddon being banned in some countries. Today, the lo-fi violence seems quaint.

Airborne is a high-octane racer that gave a cursory glance towards realism. Not one for the simulation crowd, then, but this racer is perfect for everyone else.

The larger-than-life branched courses — hyper-real takes on real-world locations — are madcap and exciting. Rather than doing laps around a boring circuit surrounded by gravel traps, you blast through rocket launch sites, and blaze through volcanos.

But for dizzying speed, mid-air barrel rolls, and loads of laughs, this racer is tough to beat. Speed Battle reimagines Sonic The Hedgehog as an into-the-screen lane-based auto-runner.

Which probably sounds a lot like Sonic Dash — but here, you battle it out against online opposition. With trap-laden courses and pick-ups you can regularly grab as you belt along, Speed Battle has hints of Mario Kart about it.

Races are packed with tense moments as you unleash a fireball, in the hope of taking out a distant leader, or have the checkered flag in sight, but know your opponents are only fractions of a second behind.
